WRESTLING INFORMATION
WRESTLING STYLE: She started off with aerial moves and speedy things to her advantage. Afterward, she dabbled in mixed martial arts in order to compete in the hybrid division at Fight One, known as the Fury Division.
MATCH TACTICS: Plays by the book, as an unearned win doesn’t really do it for her. Plus she’s aware of the cameras, so she’s not playing around in that respect. When facing much larger opponents, her goal is to get them winded before she makes moves. She’ll definitely use non-DQ stipulations as much to her advantage. Weapons, smoke bombs? Yes, please.
CHARACTER PERSONALITY: Approachable, and easy going. She tries to maintain a good sense of humor. Occasionally you’ll see some snark when things aren’t going her way.
CHARACTER ANALYSIS: She has a positive outlook on many scenarios and challenges. Bright-eyed, and full of dreams and aspirations. This can make her vulnerable to the predator types, the spooky ones who’re looking for their Laurie Strodes or Sidney Prescotts to mess with.
GIMMICK DESCRIPTION: She’s a promoter of good vibes and energy. Uplifter of spirits. Groovy and at times makes you wonder if she’s really out of this world. She’ll throw the Costa Rican expression, “Pura Vida” from time to time, which means “pure life” Live it up and all that.

BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised in Queens, New York, Lyza Reyes has been exposed to the various cultures that New York City has to offer while embracing her Latin roots. As a ballet and hip-hop dancer, learning to fight in the ring wasn't a difficult transition. She has been mentored by her trainer, as well as decorated wrestlers, Teresa Quaranta, and Kipper Haven.
In November of 2011, Reyes made her professional debut in Victory Wrestling. After competing for several months, she sustained an injury in Spring of 2012, temporarily staying out of the business. After making a recovery, she spent time in Costa Rica to run her family's bed and breakfast near a popular vacation spot, Playa Chiquita.
She made her return to fighting in April of 2015 at Fight One Wrestling, becoming the Fury Champion within four months. She has then been in contention for the Fight One Championship and was a decorated multi-time Outlaw Champion prior to her departure.
With the desire to grow her personal brand, she signed with Four Corner's Wrestling to appear on Adrenaline. Competing on this level exposed her to the scouting eyes of HKW, granting her an invitation to participate in the Global Tag Team Tournament with Sofía King. Managing to make it to the final 4, this left an impression on the HKW Executives, ultimately leading to a full-time contract offer to compete under the Subversion brand.
The Queens native resigned from 4CW to exclusively work with HKW. With the opportunity to reach out to her growing fan base, her focus and mindset have changed, having a positive outlook on things. This mindset still applies despite leaving HKW after its shows were canceled, leaving the Underground as the last brand standing.
After winning the HKW World Champion, this wasn’t enough for her to put her boots and gear away. PW: Neo was one of several promotions that were reaching out to her.
